Teaching our future railroaders
In 2012, CN Campus’ journey began. It grew, from the foundation, to the atrium, to classrooms – becoming a state-of-the-art training facility. This month, the CN team was proud to celebrate it.
The 100,000 square- foot facility had its grand opening this month, bringing industry and community leaders, dignitaries and railroaders together.
Claude Mongeau, president and CEO of CN, cut the ribbon alongside Jim Vena, CN’s executive vice-president and chief operations officer; Robert Pace, chairman of CN’s Board of Directors; Daryl Reid, MLA for Winnipeg’s Transcona neighbourhood and speaker; Lawrence Toet, MP for Elmwood-Transcona and Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz.The ribbon fluttered to the floor, ushering in a new era of CN railroaders.
Where past and future intersect in Winnipeg’s Transcona neighbourhood – you’ll find CN Campus. The railway’s rich history in the west is tied to Winnipeg, where CN has had a mechanical shop for over a century.
Now, a new generation has ties to the city.
CN Campus, a $35-million investment, opened in April to students and has since seen more than 500 new conductors complete their training. Future railroaders come from across the country for hands-on experience and classroom learning.
The facility is symbolic of CN’s commitment to operational and service excellence and delivering responsibly.
